Waterfront vacation rentals in Bosphorus

I stayed here for 6 weeks while I worked at a hospital nearby. The place is in a great location, with lots of cafes restaurants nearby. The house itself although quite small is lovely, cosy and clean. The view is amazing and the home was very well equipped for short term stays. I also felt very safe staying there as a solo female, security was great. Mehmet Selim was also very attentive and responsive. 10/10

The best host ever! They helped us with so many things throughout our stay. The house was beautiful and clean, with a stunning view of the Bosphorus. Communication was excellent—very fast and incredibly helpful. The location is strategic, close to the metro, ferry to the European side, as well as cafes and restaurants. We will definitely book again in the future! Just a small note: 3 of the rooms and the bathroom are located in the basement, so you’ll need to go down a flight of stairs.

객실과 욕실은 사진보다 좀 더 크고 매우 청결합니다. 기본 조리 도구인 냄비, 프라이팬, 올리브 오일 등이 있으며 전자렌지도 있어 편리했습니다. 마르마라 바다 전망은 편안하고 멋졌습니다. 테라스 의자는 매우 푹신하고 편안합니다. 까르푸 마트는 도보 8분이며 버스와 기차는 도보 10분 거리입니다. 기차를 이용하여 두 세 정거장(10분 정도)을 가면 바로 구시가지 중심입니다. 호스트는 우리를 직접 맞이하였고 매우 친절하고 배려심이 있는 좋은 사람입니다. 호스트는 매우 이른 체크인을 허용하였습니다. 감사합니다.

Mustafa y Erol (su padre) estuvieron pendientes de nosotros todo el tiempo, el alojamiento es tal cual consta en las fotos, las ventanas son a prueba de ruido y la ubicación muy buena, buenos colchones, alojamiento recomendable!

الشقة رائعة جداً المنظر المطل على البحر مذهل وخلاّب واجمل من الصور النظافة كفندق ٥ نجوم كل شيء مثالي اقامة فاخرة ويوجد بقالة قريبة وايضا جسر للمشاه يوصل إلى الشاطيء

Fue maravillosa mi experiencia en casa de Ahmet ! Me siento muy agradecida de pasar unos días con esa vista increíble, además el barrio es hermoso, me encantó. Ahmet es un host maravilloso, súper atento, amable, generoso.. todo fue genial, gracias !!

Wohnung hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick . Man fühlt sich wie zu Hause . Auch Frau Funda war immer hilfsbereit super freundlich und immer schnell aktiv sobald man sie kontaktiert hat. Die Wohnung hat einen sehr schönen Touch . Schön hell sehr sauber . Perfekter Ort wenn man in Istanbul verbleiben möchte.

A wonderful host who answered all your questions. ENES the husband was very helpful and friendly. The apartment is wonderful, fully furnished, and the view is beautiful. A simple note for (specific) people only ( not for all travelers) There is no elevator, which may be a problem for the elderly or disabled. However, for other guests the location is great and close to everything you need.

✨Wir sind wirklich froh, diese Unterkunft für unsere Reise gewählt zu haben. Es war fantastisch! Das Haus war sehr sauber. Es gab sogar einen intelligenten Staubsaugerroboter, der durch die Wohnung fuhr. Die Terrasse war faszinierend. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel waren 2-3 Gehminuten entfernt. Insgesamt eine 10 von 10 Punkten. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Vielen Dank an die Gastgeber.✨

Super appartement, confortable et bien comme sur les photos, Merci Basak , à très bientôt je reviendrai

Great place. Sweet was very easy to reach and connect. Location was the bess part : 9 mins walk to metro , Cevahir shopping mall , and grocery.

This is by far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at in this neighborhood—and we’ve tried five others before! Our host, Zafer, was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and always responsive. The apartment has absolutely breathtaking views—our visiting friends were speechless when they saw them! The location is perfect: just a 5–8 minute walk to the Bosphorus, where you can enjoy fishing, running, walking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the water. There are fantastic breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots nearby, and a grocery store just 30 seconds away (they even deliver!). Our kids loved the place, and we felt right at home. We had an unforgettable time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location in the heart of Balat. Ceyda was a very kind and attentive host. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

كان تسجيل الوصول سهلاً حيث وجدنا المضيف في انتظارنا مع والدته اللطيفة ، المنزل ايضاً كان رائعاً ذو اطلالة جميلة ، فقط ينقصه التكييف لقد شعرنا بالحر اثناء النهار المشمس بخلاف ذلك كل شي كان جميلاً شكراً جزيلاً لهم

Ev çok güzel bir bölgede, çok güzel bir evdi. Küçük çocuklu ailelerin dikkatli olması gerekli çünkü evde çok fazla aksesuar var ve çocuklar çok meraklı. Bir de böcekler konusunda fobiniz var ise biraz sıkıntı yaşayabilirsiniz. Yataklar çok rahattı, fazla havlular sağlanmıştı.

Sure! Here’s a warm, professional, and detailed review you can post on Airbnb in response to the host’s request: ⸻ We came from Ankara as a production crew to film a YouTube series, and this place exceeded all our expectations! The house itself is stunning—spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with attention to detail. The view is absolutely breathtaking; we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for our shoots. The location was peaceful yet accessible, perfect for both creativity and relaxation. We also stayed overnight and had everything we needed—comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and strong Wi-Fi for our production needs. A huge thank you to our host, who was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. He made sure everything ran smoothly, and his hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommended American dude! He can solve everything you need in Istanbul better than Istanbulite :)

مكان مريح ونظيف ومتوفر فيه جميع ماتحتاج وإطلاله رائعة

during checkin..its seem like dull neighbourhood..but day after tours around istanbul. now i realised this apartment is actually peaceful neighbourhood and really great place to stay after tired. Btw, the highlight of this apartment is: -2min walk to tram yusufpasa -1min walk to bustop -1min walk to various atm -some restaurants downstairs -5min walk to convenience store the house itself - spacious - bright vibe - tiptop clean - well maintained - enough silverware to cook yourself - feel like own home the host - super responsive - no problem with english - warm welcoming by his father even though not really into english speaking but we got his point. if i need to describe in 2 words about this apartment is " convenience location"

قابلت الأخ بندر فقد كان دقيقا في مواعيده وخدوم بشكل كبير وكان متعاونا جدا وقد ساعدنا في اختيار المواقع المناسبة للسياحة وكذلك أرشدنا إلى موقع استئجار السيارة

Niche is an amazing host Very helpful from the beginning untill we check out The apartment is tastefully decorated and big enough for our group of 5 people 1 has slept on the sofa in the living room which was very comfortable The beds were high end quality and very comfortable to sleep Even though the apartment is located right next to Galata tower the neighborhood was very quite a hidden gem Surrounded by Many restaurants shops and walking distance to everywhere we wanted to discover Tram metro even ferries just few minutes away by walk We really enjoyed our stay at Niche’s place and definatelly book this place again

Всё понравилось, красивый вид из окна и станция метро в пешей доступности. Рядом много ресторанов и кафе на любой вкус.

Furkan bey iyi niyetli bir arkadaştır. Her sorumuza sabır ile cevap verdi sanki yıllarca tanıdığım bir arkadaşım gibiydi. Eviniz bulunduğu yer güzel ve sakindi. Sakin olmasının yanında ulaşımı çok rahattı. Sadece biraz yokuş vardı ama İstanbul yedi tepe zaten çoğu yerde yokuş var. Teşekkürler Furkan arkadaş.

Meine Verlobte und ich sind sehr glücklich und zufrieden, es hat uns alles sehr gut gefallen. Omer ist ein sehr freundlicher und offener Mensch super nett und immer gut erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist wirklich schön und gemütlich😍

Great place , stunning surroundings and a wonderful host, Ms. Tuna. We enjoyed our stay as always.
